Table Ordering App - for hospitality businesses
As you will know we have been working closely with a local tech company to try to get as many of Bedmisnter’s shops online as quickly as possible at www.wearebs3.co.uk. The same company has now just launched a table ordering app specifically for the hospitality sector
This weekend they successfully launched the pilot and processed 400+ in-house table service orders at No1 Harbourside. They are now turning on the next few establishments with a view that this coming weekend can support click and collect / takeaway options. They have also built in contact tracing with some clever 'self destruct in 21 days' logic, as well as support for in house collection point ordering. You can check the front end out here.... https://bristolmenu.com/ - and get the app by emailing hello@wearebs3.co.uk - mention you are a BID member and you will recieve 50% off the £1 daily charge to use it.
